Worst
Two Words to a Liberal: “Christian Right”- November 27, 2013 by David L. GoetschTo a liberal, the worst two words in the
English language are “Christian Right.” For left-wing secular humanists, these
two words conjure up images of Old Testament Pharisees who want to establish a
theocracy on earth and stone to death all those who fall short of its tenets.
Some humanists even consider the Christian Right to be one giant hate group.
Apparently there are a lot of Americans who agree. In recent years there have
been numerous books published proclaiming the Christian Right to be a dangerous
group of theological fanatics determined to force all Americans to live by their values.
Several of these books became bestsellers. One that springs immediately to mind
is God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by the late
Christopher

That's the question Micah Zenko poses at Foreign Policy. It's partly a rhetorical question meant to
highlight a perceived double standard in how Israel's nuclear program is treated
differently from Iran's--a double standard that isn't really one at all, since
Israel is a democratic country and not a party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty
in any case. But it's also a practical question, because of the low probability
that normal air strikes would be enough to destroy Iran's dispersed, secretive,
and largely buried nuclear facilities.

About Me

Green is a mixture of blue and yellow. That is the only factual definition of green that will stand the test of time. After that; any other definition is a corruption of a perfectly nice color. I have been an exterminator for 35 years. I have served as a trustee on industry association boards representing pesticide and fertilizer applicators actively for almost 25 years. I believe that what we do isn't just a job; it's a mission! We are that thin gray line that mans the wall telling the world; "no one will harm you on my watch". I also believe that to be green is to be irrational, misanthropic and morally defective. They are the barbarians at the gate we have to stand against. Our greatest worry is those within who support and facilitate their misanthropic goals.
